The German community, which had managed to deal with colonial administration, faced new challenges when the region became a South African mandate under the League of Nations in 1919. One of these was the issue of Germanness, which ultimately resulted in public conversations and expressions of identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eCreating Germans Abroad\u003c\/i\u003e, Daniel Walther examines this discourse and provides striking new insights into the character of the German populace in both Germany and its former colony, Southwest Africa, known today as Namibia. In addition to German colonialism, Walther considers issues of race, class, and gender and the activities of minority groups. He offers new perspectives on German cultural and national identity during the Empire, the Weimar Republic, and the Third Reich.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn a larger context, \u003ci\u003eCreating Germans Abroad\u003c\/i\u003e acts as a model for investigating the strategies and motivations of groups and individuals engaged in national or ethnic engineering and demonstrates how unforeseen circumstances can affect the nature and outcome of these endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Joseph Walther\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821414593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821414590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.84h x 6.60w x 0.64d","brand":"Daniel Joseph Walther","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926521938175,"sku":"9780821414590","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_611479e1-43e8-435e-9263-a7d3e610d0ca.jpg?v=1681083529","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/creating-germans-abroad-daniel-joseph-walther-9780821414590","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
